Deutsche Telekom is discussing with Comcast the possibility of the cable firm buying T-Mobile US.
Deutsche Telekom is talking to several other companies, including Dish Networks, but Comcast is seen as the primary contender thanks to its stronger finances.
Deutsche Telekom hoped to sell T-Mobile to AT&T several years ago and then to Sprint last year. The company has gone on the record saying it will explore every possibility with respect to its U.S. wireless company.
Neither Deutsche Telekom nor Comcast commented on Reuters’ report, which cited unnamed sources.
